I completely agree...
talking about my music I'm used to consider that each sound involved should
refer to a certain emotion or a part of it or a memory of it... This is only
a way I choose to separate 'good' sounds from 'bad' sounds, to find what
could be used or not, and definetely any connection is hidden in my mind...
But when the process is over I think it's up to the listener considering it
'emotionally' or else.
